Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Jiang Ling’er heard Wen Nuan’s words, a smile formed on her lips. “Nuannuan, calm down.”

Wen Nuan looked around in disdain and said coldly, “I can’t calm down! Someone is slandering us. Who the heck is that person? What a mad dog!”

Jiang Hua said calmly, “Vice-principal, you must give the Jiang family an explanation for this matter. My daughter may not be very outstanding, but as her father, 1 will not sit still and watch her get slandered.”

The vice-principal immediately nodded. “Only the people here know about this matter at the moment. Why don’t we just forget about it? If word gets out, it will be embarrassing for everyone.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled. The vice-principal was trying to de-escalate the situation, but she wouldn’t let him have it that easy.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Vice-principal, do you know the saying ‘good news doesn’t go out, while bad news travels thousands of miles’?”

The vice-principal frowned and said, “Then what do you want me to do? Once this matter blows up, you don’t stand to gain anything from this.”

Jiang Ling’er said, “Oh… Are you asking a student to teach you how to handle this? Do you really believe that it’s just an unfortunate turn of events? What do you think I can gain from this? Vice-principal, I may not be smart, but I’m not a fool!”

‘You’re so worried about the people backing Bai Xue, but has it ever crossed your mind that I, Jiang Ling’er, have my own backers as well? If Bai Xue isn’t punished properly, won’t she become even more arrogant?’

“Jiang Ling’er, you should be forgiving when you can,” the vice-principal said coldly.

“Don’t you realize that you’ve made a mistake?” Jiang Ling’er asked with a smile. “You’re trying to smooth things over by telling me that only the people in this room know about this. Have you actually tried investigating the truth? I’m telling you now that everyone in the school already knows about this.”

“How do you know that?” asked the vice-principal.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Before the report was made, there were already people spreading rumors in the school. Yet, you still cooperated with them. I just found out about my results in the morning and came here right away in the afternoon. How dare you say that I cheated? Don’t you know how many innocent people were killed by public opinion?”

The vice-principal fell silent. He also understood that the person who had reported Jiang Ling’er had already planned everything. And now, that person was using the school to make Jiang Ling’er suffer.

The vice-principal thought about it and said, “Dean, you’re the one who caused this mess. Write a self-reflection and apologize publicly tomorrow.”

The dean knew that he was being used as a scapegoat. “1 merely received a report and acted on it accordingly. Why are you pushing all the blaming on me?”

The vice-principal said with a cold face, “If you had investigated thoroughly, would this have happened?”

“Are you making the dean take responsibility for this incident?” asked Jiang Ling’er with a smile.

“Jiang Ling’er, we have an obligation to protect the one who made the report. Otherwise, who would dare to tell the truth in the future?” the vice-principal said helplessly.

“You mean, you’re trying to protect the one who reported me.” Jiang Ling’er asked coldly. “You’re actually protecting the slanderer! Have you seen any evidence to prove that I’ve cheated? Did you guys even investigate properly before saying that I’m guilty? You’re acting like that person’s accomplices!”

Hearing that, the vice-principal instantly felt very embarrassed. When he found out that the whistle-blower was someone who received backing from the Li family, the vice-principal had immediately believed the accusations against Jiang Ling’er.

“Dean, who was it that made the report?” asked the vice-principal.

The vice-principal did not want to take the blame, so he diverted the question toward the dean.

The dean showed a dark expression. ‘The vice-principal can no longer defend himself, so he’s throwing the blame on me? What an old fox! If 1 had known this would happen, I would have ignored it from the start. I should’ve asked Bai Xue to personally report it to the vice-principal instead. That way, I wouldn’t be implicated at all.’

“Uhh…” the dean stammered.

The dean found himself stuck in a difficult position. After all, the Li family supported Bai Xue. Once he exposed her as the whistle-blower, the Li family would definitely not let him off. However, if he didn’t say anything now, his career would be affected.

The vice-principal felt anxious. Although the Li family was powerful, it was better to offend them alone than to offend both the Jiang and Wen families at the same time. Why was this dean so stupid? Didn’t he know which side was stronger?

The vice-principal said, “Let’s not dally anymore. Hurry up and say it. If there are any misunderstandings, we’ll correct them immediately.”

The dean felt extremely wronged and conflicted at the moment. He had clearly been schemed against. The dean gritted his teeth and said, “It was Bai Xue. She’s the girlfriend of Li Yan from the Li family.. She was the one who made the report!”
